District Court for the Southern District of New York

Case Summary

The Lawsuit alleges that Staples misrepresented the terms and conditions of the Protection Plans and failed to adequately disclose that the Protection Plans required consumers to use coverage available under the manufacturer’s warranty before obtaining coverage under the Protection Plans. The Lawsuit alleges that consumers overpaid for the Protection Plans to the extent that the Protection Plans overlapped with the manufacturer’s warranty. Staples denies the claims alleged in the lawsuit.
